I see what you are saying, but the problem with this thread now is that it is inevitably going to become locked, since it's full of hundreds of political posts, which isn't allowed on this board.

I'm all-for people boycotting GOG for political reasons if they want to...but they really should start a separate Boycott thread to discuss politics in, in order so that this thread won't become dead once GOG locks it.

Although it's probably too late for that at this point.

So RIP to the OG GOG Boycotting thread (i.e. this one).

Red Candle (Taiwanese Developer) censored itself because it made a Winnie the Pooh reference against the leader of China as an easter egg. (Ukraine-Russia Analogies here) GOG didn't want any of it. Those who sign up want a lift on the censorship.

I'm failing to see how the Russia-Ukraine issue isn't part of the Boycott, but Taiwan-Chinese relationships that contributed to the issue is fine for a boycott (it was Chinese users that complained, and it was a Taiwanese company).

Also, I do not think it is a good idea to reword a petition that people have already committed to.

I simply wish to express a boycott, and now I'm being told I cannot, even though this is an avenue to express frustration to GOG.

But the human race is but one race. Unless you mean colourist (skin colour) or cultureist (different culture) ?...

It's all sad. So much hatred on both sides. Humanity is flying in space on a boulder, into which another space boulder can crash and destroy us all. Or what other cataclysm of planetary proportions can destroy our entire civilization. We are negligible on the scale of the universe. But people, instead of living amicably and developing together, choose internecine strife. Our politicians push our foreheads together, and we joyfully run to kill each other. They wash out any critical thinking with propaganda from the minds of ordinary people. This is some kind of insanity, if you look from the outside. We have nothing to share, but we step on the same rake with maniacal persistence. The whole history of mankind for many centuries teaches us nothing. It's the 21st century, and nothing has changed in the relationships of people around the world...

All these people "boycotting GOG" yet still posting on the forum. LMAO

The boycott is not in communication, the boycott is offered in the refusal to buy from this site. And the boycott does not forbid expressing an opinion.

They are obviously not boycotting the forum. Obviously. Duh.

I get what you are saying and think that GOG might lock this thread, if these people don‘t stop talking about politics,but as said below, what is the difference between Taiwan-China and Russia-Ukraine? Both relations are not the best and GOG is doing „something“. If good or bad is up to ones personal opinion, but can be a valid point for a boycott.

its slacktivism

if you actually cared, why would you even avail yourself of their forum? A true boycott with a spine would be walking away from the site entirely. Instead, y'all stay in the forum because you have to post about how you're boycotting just to get attention. Be an adult, for crying out loud.

You're not telling me, I just wrote my opinion. People who express an opinion for a boycott are having a discussion here. Why would they leave the forum? Just because you decided it for them?

Eh, gonna go out on a conspiratorial limb and say GOG is unlikely to lock this topic. I suspect to them this thread has become a "designated talking ghetto" they allow to try to keep the 'undesirables' in one place, lest more people make more threads.

I was saying that russian civilians are alsp victims of the conflict, they are the ones that see more affected their life for all the sanctions, not the government. I'm against the war and also against all the sanctions that affect and make suffer innocent civilians. I'm not here to hate anyone, I'm here for the games and for play.

Yeah so I don't give a flying FCK about Russia in a boycott forum of a gaming distributor; it has no place here and you trying to get the thread locked for political speech can go get summarily burried.

Is there any real news happening at the moment congruent to the thread?

As far as I can tell GOG is just playing business as usual and hoping this distraction can work in it's favor.

What's the latest on their HITMAN DRM debacle?
Still no concrete statement on preventative measures so it doesn't occur again?

That's why it's stupid. Your link and implicit fuck you doesn't solve anything.
